FURNITURE BLOG – Bespoke Furniture Makers
As bespoke furniture makers, we have a passion for using sustainable materials to produce handmade dining tables and kitchen furniture that is built for life. We are are totally inspired by the oak frames of the farm buildings that surround us here in the Loire Valley, France. And we love to combine artisan furniture making techniques with contemporary design with architectural influences. We hope that our furniture blog will give you some insight into the way we work and our influences. Furniture care tips and finishing techniques will also feature occasionally too. Happy reading!
